Treatment Options for Your Hip Pain
2
How your hip works Anatomy of the hip Ball-and-socket joint
Ball (femoral head) at the end of the leg bone (femur) Hip socket (or acetabulum) holds the ball
3
What’s causing your pain?
It’s estimated 70 million people in the U.S. have some form of arthritis.1 Osteoarthritis is one of the most common types. Osteoarthritis Wear and tear that deteriorates the “cushion” in your joints A degenerative condition—it won’t get better and may get worse Rheumatoid arthritis An autoimmune disease that attacks the lining of joints, causing swelling and possibly throbbing and deformity 1. Landers, S. Another reason to exercise for those with arthritis. American Medical Association website Available at:

What’s causing your pain?
Healthy hip The end of each bone in the joint is covered with cartilage, acting as a cushion so the joint functions without pain Diseased hip (osteoarthritis) Wear and tear deteriorates natural cushion, leading to bone-on-bone contact, soreness and swelling
5
Assessing your pain Do you sometimes limp?
Is it difficult to perform daily tasks—like walking, housework or tying shoes? Does pain limit your activities & lifestyle? Does one leg feel “shorter”? Do you have balance problems? Do you experience pain in the thigh, groin or buttocks? Does pain radiate to the knee?
6
Excruciating, debilitating pain
Assessing your pain Rate your pain on a scale of 1 to 5 For most people, the tipping point is about 4 or 5— that’s when the pain becomes too difficult and they turn to a surgeon for relief1 Little or no pain Excruciating, debilitating pain 2008 DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. Hip Attitudes & Usage Study.
7
How can your pain be treated?
Medications Analgesics Injections Steroids Water therapy Soaking, hot packs Exercise & physical therapy Good for weight loss
8
Hip replacement Implants replace damaged surfaces
Helps relieve pain and improve mobility 270,000 each year in the U.S.1 1. Thomas Healthcare. Market Scan Research Data, 2007.
9
What is hip replacement?
Cup A surgical procedure that removes and replaces diseased joint surfaces with implants Liner Leg bone (Femur) Ball Stem
10
How does it work? Diseased area in hip socket removed & re-shaped
New cup secured in socket Liner placed within cup Stem inserted in leg bone (femur) Ball placed in cup

12
Which bearing is right for you?
When choosing a bearing, your surgeon will consider: Range of motion Stability Wear characteristics Lifestyle Age, weight & gender Severity of disease Your surgeon will work with you to choose materials that are right for you.
13
DePuy Hips offer several bearing options
What is the bearing? The bearing is the union of the ball and the cup—where moving parts of the hip implant interact DePuy bearing options: Metal-on-plastic (polyethylene) Metal-on-metal Ceramic-on-plastic (polyethylene) Ceramic-on-ceramic* *Duraloc® Option System
14
Should you wait to replace your hip?
Assess your pain and ability to function Do you have difficulty sleeping or performing basic functions (shopping or walking up the stairs)? Does medication no longer provide relief? Consult your physician Early diagnosis and treatment are important1 Delaying may lower your quality of life2 Osteoarthritis is degenerative—it won’t get better and may get worse 1. Fortin PR, et al. Outcomes of Total Hip and Knee Replacement. Arthritis & Rheumatism. 1999;42: 2. Fortin PR, et al. Timing of Total Joint Replacement Affects Clinical Outcomes Among Patients With Osteoarthritis of the Hip or Knee. Arthritis & Rheumatism. 2002;46:

Important safety information. . .
As with any medical treatment, individual results may vary The performance of joint replacements depends on your age, weight, activity level and other factors There are potential risks, and recovery takes time People with conditions limiting rehabilitation should not have this surgery Only an orthopaedic surgeon can tell if hip replacement is right for you
16
What other patients have to say
In a recent study of 600 people who chose hip replacement: More than 96% said hip replacement enabled them to move freely and without pain.1 90% said they were able to participate in their favorite activities.1 DePuy Hip Pain: A&U/Segmentation. Final Report January Data on file.
17
Summary The leading cause of hip pain is osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is degenerative—it won’t get better and may get worse Early diagnosis and treatment of osteoarthritis are important Hip replacement helps relieve pain and improve mobility Your surgeon will help choose the right implant for you

invasive hip surgery module. If desired, please include the slides with the Pinnacle Hip Solutions presentation. REMOVE THIS SLIDE
21
Minimally invasive hip surgery
What is it? A less invasive approach to traditional surgery Involves about 75% smaller incision (or incisions) Uses traditional components (cup, ball and stem) Because less muscle and other soft tissues are involved, patients can potentially recover more quickly
22
Traditional surgery Average 5-day hospital stay
Average 3-month recovery time Approximately 12-inch incision Large scar on thigh Performed for decades Surgeon can fully see hip joint Disruption of muscles and tissue
23
Minimally invasive surgery
May lead to shorter hospital stay May reduce recovery time 3- to 4-inch incision Smaller, less noticeable scar Long-term effects and success still being studied May lead to less blood loss Potentially less disruption of muscles and tissue Possibly less pain after surgery
24
Benefits of minimally invasive hip surgery
Smaller incision Less trauma to the body Quicker recovery and healing
25
Success factors Success depends upon:
Overall health and activity level of the patient Patient’s age and weight Presence of osteoporosis or other conditions Skill of the surgeon Patient’s compliance with instructions
26
But know this important safety information
As with any medical treatment, individual results may vary The performance of joint replacements depends on your age, weight, activity level and other factors There are potential risks, and recovery takes time People with conditions limiting rehabilitation should not have this surgery Only an orthopaedic surgeon can tell if hip replacement is right for you

The following 4 slides are the Anterior Approach module. If desired, please include the slides with the Pinnacle Hip Solutions presentation. REMOVE THIS SLIDE
28
Anterior Approach What is it?
Incision is made on the front (anterior) of the leg rather than the side (lateral) or back (posterior) Surgeon can work between muscles and tissues without detaching them from the hip or thigh bones Uses a high-tech table and intra-operative x-ray for precise positioning of implant
29
Traditional surgery Patients typically lie on side or front
Incision on side or back of leg Surgeon detaches muscles, disrupts tissue Surgeon relies on post- operative x-ray to check component placement & leg length
30
Anterior Approach Patients lie on back Incision on front of leg
No detachment of muscles, minimal disruption of tissue Surgeon can check component placement & leg length during procedure
31
Anterior Approach History
First performed in 1947 by Robert Judet in France Surgery performed on the “Judet” table, with the patient lying on back rather than on side In 2002, Dr. Joel Matta of California adopted the technique, helped develop a new table and began to teach the technique in the U.S Today, more than 200 DePuy trained U.S. surgeons perform the technique on this table1 Data on file at DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc.
32
Potential benefits of the Anterior Approach
Less trauma to the body Smaller incision Potentially less pain Less tissue disruption, may lead to faster rehabilitation Fewer restrictions during recovery Data on file at DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc.
